In Korea, presidential pardons for traffic violations have been carried out almost every three years, starting from 1995. Whenever Presidents announced pardons for traffic violators, they repeatedly emphasized justifiable reasons that drivers under administrative ruling should be given another chance to make a living by driving. Nonetheless, whenever Presidents issued pardons towards violators of traffic offenses, they were not free from a series of criticism or blame. In fact, the pardons were controversial from the outset.
